I honestly think you're out of this, Binga.

LOl nice match isn't it? Intresting lets see who wins . A thriller again after some time for me.
 
OMFG! Far out!

43.6 1 Charlton to Robbins
Good shot from Robbins for a single, thinner batsmen would have gotten two.
43.5 4 Charlton to Robbins
Big slog sweep, one bounce, four!
43.4 4 Charlton to Robbins
Picked up by Myall and thrown back to Bridges. Oh no, he's missed it and that's four overthrows. Terrible fielding.
43.3 4 Charlton to Robbins
Wonderfully timed on drive, four runs!
43.2 1 Charlton to Carragher
Slower delivery, smacked down to mid off, Vusi fielding.
43.1 1 Charlton to Robbins
Straight drive to long on.

This amazing partnership and I'm out of the match.... almost!

HOW COULD YOU, HANDSOME! HOW COULD YOU!!!!!! :(:(:(:(
 
What?????? It was a good game , although i blv i gave away tooo many runs. But the batsmen did a good job.

46.4 1 Tahir to Carragher
A slower ball and Carragher steers it into the gap for an easy run.
46.3 1 Tahir to Richardson
Good cricket, runs it down to third man and rotates the strike.
46.2 1 Tahir to Carragher
Played out to extra cover for the single.
46.1 4 Tahir to Carragher
He finds the gap between cover and extra cover and, with no sweeper to do the fielding, it's four runs.

That should seal my victory

And that's the end of the match. Record Breakers won by 6 wickets.
Gillys Demolition Team 261-5
Record Breakers 262-4
That is the end then i win by sparing 18 balls. Nice Victory and good start to the shield

Turned off the hips down to the crowd's favourite Caskey

45.6 1 Caskey to Carragher
Easy single to long off.
45.5 1 Caskey to Richardson
Could have gone for two but Richardson looks a little too laid back for that.
45.4 1 Caskey to Carragher
In the air . . . and safe! Carragher picks up a fortuitous single.
45.3 1 Caskey to Richardson
My that was close! Richardson looked to cut a short, wide ball towards point but got a thick inside edge and the ball whistled past leg stump. Bridges had no chance of stopping it and they take a single.
45.2 2 Caskey to Richardson
Flicked to the on, deep mid wicket fields.
45.1 1 Caskey to Carragher
While the batsmen crossed for the single it looked like the umpire was having a word with Caskey about scuffing up the line on his follow-through. We've seen him do that before...

44.6 . Tahir to Richardson
Good ball just wide of off and left to Bridges.
44.5 1 Tahir to Carragher
Carragher rocks onto the back foot and cuts it.
44.4 1 Tahir to Richardson
On the toes, managed to stroke it down to fine leg for the single.
44.3 W Tahir to Robbins
Nips back at him and takes leg stump out of the ground.
44.2 1 Tahir to Carragher
Solid stroke to long on for the single.
44.1 1 Tahir to Robbins
Robbins fends it wide of Bridges but he’ll only get one to deep fine leg.

Last Wicket: Ardley c. Bridges b. Longrigg 13 (FOW: 158/3)
42.6 4 Tahir to Carragher
Shot! Tahir drops it in too short, Carragher sees it like a pumpkin, rocks back and pulls powerfully through mid wicket. Not perfectly timed, but he certainly gave it a clout.
42.5 . Tahir to Carragher
On the front foot, flicked around to the mid wicket fielder.
42.4 1 Tahir to Robbins
Played away with a straight bat to mid off.
42.3 4 Tahir to Robbins
He beats Tahir with a straight bat and with no long on and no long off, the rest, as they say, is history. Four runs to his tally.
42.2 1 Tahir to Carragher
A brute of a delivery! A nice bouncer and Carragher didn't know much about it. He turned his head away and somehow the bat found the ball and it flew away to mid wicket.
42.1 4 Tahir to Carragher
Big inside edge and that will run all the way down the hill for four. Tahir is pretty unlucky there.

Last Wicket: Ardley c. Bridges b. Longrigg 13 (FOW: 158/3)
41.6 1 Charlton to Carragher
Driven to wide mid off.
41.5 4 Charlton to Carragher
Tossed up a little too far down leg side, and Carragher sweeps the ball fine. Saich giving chase but he won't be able to stop that one.
41.4 3 Charlton to Robbins
Drifting towards the pads. Robbins places it wide of short fine leg, the ball heads towards the ropes and a superb save by deep square leg cuts off a certain four.
41.3 1 Charlton to Carragher
One run. On off stump and pushed to mid off.
41.2 4 Charlton to Carragher
Climbs into it and lofts it to the mid wicket boundary.
41.1 1 Charlton to Robbins
Robbins adds one to the total with a fine nick. It's not exactly pretty but it keeps the scoreboard ticking over.

End of Over 41: 199-3, runrate=4.85, reqrunrate=7.00 (261-5)
Tahir 6-0-34-1
Robbins* 21 (24 balls)

Last Wicket: Ardley c. Bridges b. Longrigg 13 (FOW: 158/3)
40.6 1 Tahir to Robbins
Short ball, cut to deep cover.
40.5 . Tahir to Robbins
Shortish ball which sits up a little outside off stump. Cut into the ground and straight to cover.
40.4 4 Tahir to Robbins
Robbins clatters it straight back down the wicket. Tahir puts his foot out, but can't take any of the pace off the ball. Four runs.
40.3 1 Tahir to Carragher
A quick single. Good running by the batsmen.
40.2 4 Tahir to Carragher
Steered past a diving extra cover for four.
40.1 1 Tahir to Robbins
Excellent cricket from Robbins, dropping this at his feet and nicking a single.

End of Over 40: 188-3, runrate=4.70, reqrunrate=7.40 (261-5)
Handbury 10-1-48-0

Last Wicket: Ardley c. Bridges b. Longrigg 13 (FOW: 158/3)

Well done, handsome. I honestly thought I just about had it in the bag. Then 54 in 4 overs steered you back to victory! God!

What?????? It was a good game , although i blv i gave away tooo many runs. But the batsmen did a good job.



That should seal my victory


That is the end then i win by sparing 18 balls. Nice Victory and good start to the shield

Because you're batsmen that were batting slower than snail's pace all of a sudden started smashing fours! :crying

ohh Sean common. My batsmen have always been good . it was thier ploy to keep wickets at the end and then smash. Look at carrenger he scored century last match of 100 balls and now he played cautiosly to script a fine victory
